Systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe: radiographic and CT findings in 11 patients.

abstract：PURPOSE:Cardiac involvement is an important prognostic factor in sarcoidosis, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) can facilitate the identification of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). In patients with CS, we investigated LGE characteristics and their relationship with lef...
